MANNEQUIN ENVY

SHOOTS AND VINES

SHOOTS AND VINES


SHOOTS AND VINES


SHOOTS AND VINES

was kissed by ghosts, was weeping

find the ocean just inches
below the desert's surface &
then wait for rain

this is the kingdom of false prophets

these are the bones of old lovers

no one here
wants to be your friend,
but being an enemy has value
too

wars cannot be fought
without cowards

children cannot be raped
without the cold embrace of priests

what matters isn't the truth,
but how pretty the
lies can be made to sound

what matters is power

the shame of being poor is a gift
given freely by the rich

houses built by the hands of
beggars can only fall

you will stand naked in
the ruins of everything you've
never owned and wait like a dog
for the kindness of strangers

sun & the moon

like death she said or
like dreaming,
and then she tore off the
baby’s wings

then she laughed
about what she’d done
